Nearly ready to head off to points further north than have been seen onboard for many a year.
Rig checked, up the mast, all split pins safely present and correct.
Checked reef in staysail, never used it yet but it´s there and it works.
Rigged storm trysail, ready to deploy on its own track in a bag tied off to the mast. Very doubtful if that will get used but nice to know it´s there ready. Webbing jackstays rigged down each side of the deck to clip the harness onto if it gets a bit feisty and I need to go forward.
Loads food onboard, last spud run in the morning.
Big pot of stew bubbling in pressure cooker for first couple of days.
Plenty water and diesel. Looks like a calm couple of days at the start then into the westerly's again. Will head north for a good few days first, well clear of Biscay if any big low comes across, then turn right a bit towards the channel. That's the idea anyway.
And downloaded super mario game for laptop 
Bring it on!!
